wine log when processing user ID and password

site: https://insite.fds.com

Fedora 14 : firefox does not reach site - gets page saying only ie or mac ie
allowed

wine builtin internet Explorer reaches the site and gets the first page

User is required to enter user ID and password.

Enter ID 11111111 (8 numeric) and pw xxxxxx (6 alpha) .. should be processed
and a login error screen should apprear

instead wine IE gives a 404

I've attached a txt file showing the logging done by wine starting at the point
after the first screen is up

Doesn't load anything at all here.

You should be able to work around this by using Firefox under Wine.

"winetricks firefox"

Please update the version field with your version of Wine!

1.3.17

The site apparently looks at the HTTP USER_AGENT and reponds with an  error
page if it does not find particular versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer or
else Firefox running on the Macintosh.

When I try to access it with Firefox running on Fedora I get  that  error page.

Apparently the Wine Builtin Explorer identifies itself as Microsoft Internet
Explorer and passes the  test described above. Thus I get the first screen of
the site, which askes for a user ID and a password.

I enter the user ID and password. Instead of loggin me on it declares a 404. I
sent a log of the events after I enter the ID and password.

My workaround is that I have a second drive on the computer with Windows 98. I
boot that drive to see my wifes work schedule. It would be nice to drop that
routine and work 100% in the xninx environment.

I will try running Firefox from Wine, but I suspect that the result will be the
same as described above. If it works, I'll report that back to you.

Thanks much for your quick response and suggestions.

This obviously doesn't fix the bug, but you should be able to confuse the
website with this and drop Windows.

This site refuses to do anything at all here.  Do you have anything else
installed?  Do you get the same thing in a clean wineprefix?

Ken - Fantastic!

I installed agent-switcher and the site lets me log on and see her schedule.

Problem solved.

Regarding the fact that site does not work there - who knows. Maybe the
xenophobic folks at federated stores look to see not only what browser you use
but where the request comes from, and cut off those dangerous foreigners??

Anyway - thank you so much.

Well, a bug probably exists but being able to debug it with such a strange set
of lock-outs might be impossible.

A 404 comes from the web server so it's being blocked their end.

Your Browser User Agent String is Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32)

Close invalid or wontfix?

For me with git, I don't get a 404, but instead the site silently rejects my
password and sends me back to the login page.

If I do the same with Firefox4 under wine, when my password is rejected, I get
a small embedded popup saying my password is invalid and to try again.

So, there is a bug (that popup is missing), but I'm not sure it's worth the
trouble to debug, given the geographical/other restrictions.

Abandoned is probably best then.

I understand item is closed/abandoned

Thought I'd report to you interesting miscellaneous stuff

I'm running Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110322
Fedora/3.6.16-1.fc14 Firefox/3.6.16

I installed plug in to change user agent.

I worked - kinda. Am now able to log on the site, but when I ask it to prepare
a report it refuses and tellm me I must  Adobe reader installed (it is
installed). Appartntly to the site it looks like I have Internet Explorer but
do not have Adobe Reader installed. Maybe the way firefox + plug in functions
does not replicate how the original IE functions, in this regard.

I tried winetricks firefox 4 and it works a tiny bit better but not completely.
It gives me the site, allows me to log on, but when I request the report it
tells me that this feature is only available on Internet Explorer - but that
some day soon it will be available on firefox. Apparently to the site I look
like firefox running on the Mac.

But I still have win98 on my #2 disk - not that hard to boot once a week.

Thanks so much for your attention

Dick
